Your vessel's existing draft is FWD 24'-08", AFT 25'-04". Using the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN, determine the new draft if 180 long tons are loaded in No. 23 hatch.

A FWD 24'-04 2/3", AFT 25'-10 3/4"
B FWD 24'-06 1/2", AFT 25'-08 2/3"
C FWD 24'-08 1/4", AFT 25'-00 2/3"
D FWD 24'-10 1/4", AFT 25'-00 1/4"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) FWD 24'-06 1/2", AFT 25'-08 2/3". To determine the new draft, we need to use the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN, which provides information on the vessel's stability and loading characteristics. By loading 180 long tons in No. 23 hatch, the vessel's draft will change based on the additional weight. The manual provides the necessary calculations to determine the new forward and aft draft, which results in the values given in option B. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in draft based on the given loading information and the guidance provided in the manual.
